When I tweeted that I gave my age away a bit as not many got the reference so I hesitated to use it again – but oh well. We stayed at an RV park that had once had a shuttle into the city.
Sadly when we got there that was no longer running so we took a drive to the Larkspur ferry port instead. This was fun as we whizzed across the bay, past Alcatraz to the terminal buildings.
My daughter had been into the port before so was able to lead me to the famous Pier 39 where we visited the Biscotti shop amongst others.
Seals Sunbathing
We could hear & smell them before we saw them. It was astonishing to see that number of seals lying in the sun or hoping on & off the platform so close to the busy jetty. We didn’t stay long though as it was a bit smelly.
From there we took a trolley ride having sorted ourselves a Clipper card which got us discounted travel (which included the ferry so it would have been useful to have found this out sooner).
A Walk in the Park
San Fransisco is hilly. By the time we got to the Park that day we felt we had walked enough. So we decided to return the next day & explore further.
We managed to walk from one end to the other & back the next day. We had lunch overlooking the shore in a restaurant not far from the windmill.
